Making Statues - Verses

The days slip through my fingers,

as I traced the hands around the clock

and I tried, and I tried

but I couldnt make them stop

No matter where we came from

no matter where were heading for

where all ruled by the same song

we cant make the earth stand still

So tell me why are we waiting all year for the summer

waiting for our lives to be over

no, oh, oh, oh

we don’t have the time

to make statues of ourselves

The days slip through my fingers

as the world danced around me

we can’t hide, we can’t hide

were loosing count of every star that shoots by

So tell me why are we waiting all year for the summer

waiting for our lives to be over

no, oh, oh, oh

we don’t have the time

So tell me why are we waiting all year for the summer

waiting for our lives to be over

no, oh, oh, oh

we don’t have the time

to make statues of ourselves

Look away, look away

from the clock tower

its ticking away now

Look away, look away

from the clock tower

its ticking away now

Look away, look away

from the clock tower

its ticking away now

So tell me why are we waiting all year for the summer

waiting for our lives to be over

no, oh, oh, oh

we don’t have the time

So tell me why are we waiting all year for the summer

waiting for our lives to be over

no, oh, oh, oh

we don’t have the time

So tell me why are we waiting all year for the summer

waiting for our lives to be over

no, oh, oh, oh

we don’t have the time

to make statues of ourselves
